Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Kou Kou Kyoushi was even heavier. In my opinion, Kou Kou Kyoushi was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.
